Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0824231A1] A manufacturing facility has pallets Ä10Ü each carrying a work-piece to be processed, moved, for example, on rollers, between work stations and each station has a controller Ä14Ü that accepts inputs from sensors Ä18Ü and generates outputs to actuators. The controllers have a programmed watchdog function built in, and each controller is connected on to a communications bus Ä22Ü and this is linked to a central computerised operator station Ä24Ü.
